This video details a complex gunsmithing process to convert a rare Peabody Rifle from its original 11.15 Romanian Beaumont chambering to .45-70 Government using a sleeve from a Swiss Vetterli barrel. The conversion involves extensive machining of the barrel and breech block, fitting a new extractor, and carefully modifying the chamber for reliable feeding. Crucially, the modification is deemed safe only for black powder loads due to significant thinning of the breech block.
